High demand for qualified bookkeeping and accounting candidates as Pastel People takes off

Pastel People, Softline Pastel's new recruitment division launched in March 2008, has found that demand for certified bookkeepers and accountants is increasing steeply as the economy tightens, the skills shortage intensifies and accounting legislation becomes more onerous.

The division was established in response to requests from Pastel's 180 000 customers and 3 500 business partners for Pastel to recommend either suitable candidates or a recruitment agency - and is geared to finding Pastel-qualified bookkeepers and accountants for customers, Pastel business partners, and Softline Pastel itself.

Customer response to the establishment of Pastel People was so strong that in March and April alone it received more than 128 job specifications.
